Operation Terminus incorporates the embedding of UK Border Agency (UKBA) staff into police custody suites across London to deal with offenders that are found to be foreign nationals in an effort to improve identification and handling of offenders who are foreign nationals and offenders who are wanted abroad. A third of all persons arrested for criminal offences in London are foreign nationals. Whilst this is merely reflective of the overall population, it nonetheless amounts to over 70,000 prisoners a year. Operation Terminus is a determined effort to improve the MPS’s ability to deal with this third of all criminality in partnership with UKBA and international law enforcement. UKBA has significant powers to deal with such criminals who are either illegally in the UK or are failing to comply with the 'being of good behaviour' conditions of their UK residency by causing harm and risk to others. That’s all for this month. As usual, on behalf of LNWA, thank you for your work and support.
